You don't say on what basis you make that claim.
What do you feel is superior about paper tape, other
than perhaps price? And why would you use only
straight compound when you can get a far stronger
result with durabond?

I prefer paper tape. From experience and have used it since I was
knee-high to a grasshopper. Just my choice. Done right it works. Even
mesh tape can fail. Cost has never been a concern for me. Proper
application of either is the objective.

Use mesh tape if you like. (takes no beans off my plate)
